Workers construct the frame of a new home in Geneva, Illinois, June 23, 2009. The U.S. Commerce Department will release data on sales of newly constructed single-family homes in the United States on June 24, and the report is expected to show sales continuing to climb. Sales of previously owned U.S. homes rose for a second straight month in May but were weaker than expected, adding to growing fears of an anemic economic recovery from a deep recession. The National Association of Realtors said sales climbed 2.4 percent last month to an annual rate of 4.77 million units. REUTERS/Jeff Haynes (UNITED STATES BUSINESS)
